Project Abstract

The Fire Information for Resource Management System can be accessed via https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/download

There are two satellite products: 1) VIIRS (labelled DL_FIRE_V1_xxxx.zip) and 2) MODIS C6 (labelled DL_FIRE_M6_xxxx.zip)

VIIRS stands for the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite and is used to measure cloud and aerosol properties. It extends the measurements of AVHRR and MODIS.

Abstract It provides valuable satellite-derived fire information for Australia in September 2015. This dataset includes two satellite products: 1) VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) and 2) MODIS C6 (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Collection 6). VIIRS measures cloud and aerosol properties, extending the capabilities of AVHRR and MODIS sensors. The NASA_FIRMS_201509_Aust dataset offers detailed information on fire occurrences, locations, and intensities across Australia during September 2015.

Abstract

This is the VIIRS and MODIS C6 FIRMS data for 2019-12-04 to 2021-11-15 for Australia. VIIRS ACTIVE FIRE PRODUCTS Each VIIRS active fire/thermal anomaly location represents the centre of a 375m pixel. The VIIRS data complement the MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response of fires over relatively small areas and has improved nighttime performance.

Read more on VIIRS Active Fire products. VIIRS NRT 375 m active fire products are from: Suomi NPP (VNP14IMGTDL_NRT) and NOAA-20, formally known as JPSS-1, (VJ114IMGTDL_NRT).

Please note, in an effort to standardise VIIRS file names from Suomi NPP, the short name for VIIRS NRT 375 m product was changed from VNP14IMGT to VNP14IMGTDL_NRT (18 April 2016). VIIRS 375m NRT (NOAA-20) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/earth-observation-data/near-real-time/firms/vj114imgtdl-nrt VIIRS 375m NRT (Suomi NPP) MODIS FIRE ACTIVE PRODUCTS Each MODIS active fire/thermal anomaly location represents the centre of a 1km pixel that is flagged by the algorithm as containing one or more fires within the pixel. Combined (Terra and Aqua) MODIS NRT active fire products (MCD14DL) are processed using the standard MOD14/MYD14 Fire and Thermal Anomalies algorithm. MODIS Collection 61 NRT MODIS Collection 61 has been available since April 2021. C61 processing does not contain any change to the science algorithm; the update is from changes and enhancements to the calibration approach used in the generation of the Terra and Aqua MODIS Level 1B products.

For further details on C61 calibration changes and other changes user is encouraged to refer to the Collection 6.1 specific changes that have been summarised here: https://landweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/QA_WWW/forPage/MODIS_C61_Land_Proposed_ Changes.pdf.

For the most up to date information, please refer to the MODIS Collection 6 Active Fire Product User’s Guide Revision B. MODIS Collection 6 & 61 (standard processing) MODIS Collection 61 has a temporal coverage from 01 Nov 2020 - present and MODIS Collection 6 has a temporal coverage from 11 Nov 2000 to 30 Nov 2020.
